A member asked:
I've noticed what appears to be an enlarged vein above my right testical. it seems like its related to my vericocele. could it be vericocele?

Yes: A group of dilated veins above the testicle may be a varicocele, which involves the spermatic cord. Varicoceles are more common on the left side than the right side, and may occur bilaterally.

Most probably: Especially if it is on the left side. Go back to the the doctor who did the procedure on you!
